hi friends is there any one good on apex b500?

i have a little questions. first sorry abouth bad english.

i make this amplifier but never work stable. some times op amp burned some times 5200 or 1943 transistors but mostly mje340 and 350burning. i try contact with apex but i think he is bussy these days. i have many questions but try to make it simple.

1. first i want to ask is there really some one make this amp? i mean working long term stable? cause i make 6 of them and cannot make it work long time.

2. when it working it some times giving loud volume but some times its like a small pocket radio i cannot find it why.

3. when the amp not loud i take it out and start check it but accidently i put gnd cable to the input and it get spark and i cut electric but its late. after that it giving me -15vdc output. 5200 and 1943 are ok mje are ok i check all resistors are ok cannot find it what is the problem. when i close + and - fuses there is no problem it mean the problem at power stage but there is all ok.

4. there is 2 schematic about b500 and b500.1 can any one tell me what doing that 2 transistor. i mean its for safe? or doing more power? i want to understand why he put thats in there. the pictures attached.

5. i use protection circuit too but there is some silly thing if i dont connect termal transistor it giving 2vdc at output (alone withouth amlifier) pictures attached.

power is 60-0-60 vdc.

pls i need help for understand why i getting problems and i want to make it work long therm use. thank you for help...

Did you check oscillation ?

normally driver need miller capacitor, B500 no have


add 500 PF between c and b and lokk problme is solved or not, this means transistor will not hot wenn problem solved

I have try to build may years ago APEX amp too but not work good

same with Apex Class D amplifier D200, some people try to build but not work or have problems

i dont have oscilloscope. i can try put caps at driver transistor collector to base it need to be 500pf right?

a new problem lol what happening friends its like a loki on me joking me all days.

when i open it, 15032 and 15033 too hot. others normal.

output have 0,4vdc. when i give input signal withouth signalgnd, there is stupid noise cominng like a bırrrrrrrrrr. but if i connect signal gnd it go. if i connect input signal gnd to starground then that noise coming again.

when i close power output getting dc voltage and going up some times to -20vdc. and its going down slowly to 0vdc.

any idea???
 
1 try to use working schematic BGW750B -

Important ! otherwise every amp will oscillate

look 1000PF Miller capacitor at transistors B and C Pin,

redesigned BGW750B PCB and FREE Gerber available soon


2. or Mosfet Legend Quasor, PCB and Gerber FREE available

1000W RMS if you extend and add 6 output deviecs

do you have a clearer schematics or pdf doc of the amplifier, power supply, clip, signal and protection? i would like to make this amp.

Yes I have what do you like

1. BGW 750B Bipolar Transistor Amp, need 12 Bipolar Transistor per Channel

500W true RMS @ 4 Ohm within SOA +/- 80 V

or same Amp circuit

1800 Watt RMS @ 4 OHM + additional with Class TD Rail Switcher

need only 8 Bipolar Transistor per Channel



2. Mosfet Amp 1000W RMS ?

You can have 1000W RMS 4 OHM mit 1 pair Linear Mosfet

IXTK90N25L2

oder

IXTK110N20L2

960 Watt Mosfet power dissipation compare

Bipolars Transistor 150 Watt 2SC5200 / 2 SA1943


easy and cheap to build, strong and clear sound

look youtube

sir NMOS are you uploading the circuits you suggested, would like to have both
 
hi friends i make %110 bigger pcb. its working like all others. but when i checking again i find some thing and i want to ask is this normal.

on power pcb i have 4 big capasitors. one of them inside some thing moving when i hit little with finger. i dont know how to write it. its like a it dry and swinging inside. caouse of that i check the amp voltages. all is ok but when you close amp dc voltage going down slowly. its normal but positive side get 0 before then - and power start giving - voltage cause of that. should i change capasitor?
 
hi all

can any one give me some mesurement for b500?

i have 0,47vdc on 5200 transistor base and 0,33vdc on 1943 transistor base. it can open transistor? this mesurement witouth signal.

i need some mesurement samples for b500
5200, 1943, 15033, 15032 and mje340 what they need on base and what is the bias voltage on the bias resistor its 330ohm i think. i think its 1v i was read before but i need to be sure cause too many pages i cannot find it again.

my power voltage is 60vdc.

thank you for answers...
